Rallys Eat-It-All #8 - Big Daddy Times Two

Because I have more children than most people have tires on their dump truck I knew that I could resist buying any sandwhich titled "Big Daddy." This beast comes in two varieties, beef and chicken, and they have the same toppings. They were 2 for $5 so I grabbed one of each. Let's unwrap these, shall we?

The first up was the beef. It certainly was big, although the second patty was buried in the bun. They weren't overly large patties so the "big daddy" probably refers to the sandwich as a whole, not to the quantity of meat. And while the crispy onion tanglers were amazingly delicious there was but one lone "grilled onion", and a tiny one at that. Maybe, just maybe, this itty bitty onion had spent some time near a grill recently but definitely not on it. We'll just call that a FAIL and move on from there, shall we? The thousand island sauce was a nice touch but after a few bites I had to add ketchup, just because I love that condiment. The bacon was also nice and tasty, probably two strips of the stuff.

Opening up the chicken Big Daddy I was surprised to find that it too had just one small raw onion which leads me to believe that this is how these items are intended to be made. And there was just one breaded chicken patty, which I guess is to be expected. Overall this one wasn't nearly as tasty as the beef, though you can't blame the chicken. Okay, you can blame the chicken. I suppose if the chicken was coated in a thick, crunchy batter then it would rawk my world. But it's just your standard fast-food softly breaded piece of bird.

I am now at 39% completed, having tasted 14 of Rally's 36 menu items. I reckin' it will cost about $75 to complete this gastronomical feat, assuming they don't drop any items or add new ones before I'm done. Or that I don't suffer some health crisis.

Rallys Eat-It-All #7 - Boneless Chicken & Chicken Dippers

This week's BOGO coupon is for the five piece Boneless Wings and thus it was my lunch today.

Because my taste buds are wimpy I didn't get any of the three hot sauce choices. Selection #1 was Garlic Parmesan. It was quite tasty and perhaps a bit salty. In fact, I'm still tasting the garlic in my mouth even though it's been two hours since I popped these puppies (not real puppies) into my mouth. Yumbo!

Selection #2 was Honey BBQ. The sauce on these is rather tasteless and bland. It's not super sweet, like Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ... it's just kind of there.

Now about these "wings." They ain't wings. They is chicken nuggets. Pretty big ones, too!

Because I thought I'd only be eating a skimpy 10 chicken wings, instead of 10 big nuggets, I also ordered a new item, Chicken Dippers for two dollah. These come with fries and a tub of their "Crazy Good" sauce. It's not crazy good, at least to me. It's a kind of sweet & sour sauce mixed with mustard. The first ingredient is "soybean oil" and further down in the list is MSG... no thanks. But I tried the sauce with one of the five dippers because that is my duty and then I realized that I was already full so I stopped eating.

Rallys Eat-It-All #6 - The Big Buford

How can you not love a sandwich named THE BIG BUFORD?!?!? Well, if you happen to love ketchup and this sammich doesn't come with ketchup that's a start.

But first, a correction. I learned on my last visit that Rallys does NOT have kids meals. Pick up a 4 for 3 instead and quit yer blubberin'!

Here's the Big Buford as pictured on the coupon I received 'cause I'm part of the special Rally's Club. Pretty, ain't it? Almost majestic in how it towers above the legalese, with all it's strata clearly visible.

Here's what I got upon opening the wrapper. This burger is squashed and lopsided. Kind of like life.

Let's upon this bad boy up, eh? One slice o' tomater, a smattering of lettuce, some mayo, the burger seems kind of pale (and had pink bits inside, but I suffered no digestive ills overnight) and a surprisingly small amount of red onion. While the two burgers were on the large side there wasn't a lot of flavor, like someone forgot to salt it. Or maybe this one doesn't come with ketchup or mustard. After two bites I added my own ketchup and it went down okay, although I don't think I'll be ordering this one again.
